Breakli — Break Calculator
Stop guessing. Your body already knows. Breakli is a free break calculator for desk and office workers — telling you whether you should take a break right now, based on how long you've been sitting, your work type, and your energy level.
Built on the principle that high performance isn't about pushing harder — it's about knowing when to stop. A practical tool born from 30 years of observing how people actually work.
- Analyses sitting time, work type, and energy level to give a personalised break recommendation
- Tracks brain state, eye strain, physical risk, and time to next break
- Built-in break timer — 5 minute guided recovery sessions
- Free to use — no sign-up, no tracking, no noise
Taklamakan Cycling 2027
Guy Martin broke the previous record, crossing the Taklamakan desert in China in 28 hours. I watched Our Guy in China series on Channel 4 and decided that, one day, I would break his record.
That time has come.
I am now preparing to build on my past achievements and cross the "Desert of Death" in 24 hours.
